    On reflection of my time and experience with the Media Arts and Presentation Unit I can comfortably express that I have learned and developed a range of skills and appreciation for the way media can be shaped as well as can shape emotions and perceptions. This has been explained to me through the various films I have enjoyed.

The film is directed by Fede Alvarez, a Uruguayan director who only has one other full length film to his name. Mr. Alvarez also wrote the film, with his partner Rodo Sayagues.

Apparently, he’s just

    Every time I interview a young person in the entertainment business, I customarily have a sense of awe and excitement. Most of these young performers have accomplished so much in their relatively short life span, and the vast majority of them (unlike the gossip columns would prefer you to believe) are "good kids." In the case of Peter DaCunha, it was truly a joy when I recently had the opportunity to speak with him about how he started out as an actor, his notable works (including Hallmark), and

    Iran’s war torn circumstances have desensitised both the children's and teacher’s attitude towards loss of life. The short film genre allows directors to tackle issues in regards to political critiques unconstrained by the profit-driven aspect of feature films. As evident when the teacher asks a question in relation to the terrorist events, the diegetic sounds of the children’s coughs and laughter indicate their trivialisation and ignorance of the 9/11’s disastrous aftermath.

Animations were created that revolved around Momotaro, most were shorts but a feature length film, Momotaro’s Divine Sea Warriors, was created. These films were all propaganda as, “the Japanese Navy felt that theatrical cartoons were an ideal medium to instill the patriotic spirit in children.” Momotaro had not only invaded texts
